TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to pyridone derivatives and herbicides containing them as active ingredients.

BACKGROUND ART

Heretofore, some 3-(substituted)phenyl-2-pyridone derivatives have been known. However, no more than a few compounds have been known with respect to 3-(substituted)phenyl-6-(substituted)alkyl-2-pyridone derivatives, which represent the characteristic of the compounds of the present invention. For example, the specification of JP-3-46-30190 discloses 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-2-pyridone. Further, U.S. Pat. No. 3,720,768 discloses 3-phenyl-6-ethyl-2-pyridone. However, either specification discloses nothing about herbicidal activities. On the other hand, some 3-(substituted)phenyl-4-pyridone derivatives have been known. However, no more than a few compound have been known with respect to 3-(substituted)phenyl-6-(substituted)alkyl-4-pyridone derivatives, which represent the characteristic of the compounds of the present invention. For example, Chemical Abstract vol. 76, No. 140407, discloses 3-phenyl-6-methyl-4-pyridone, but discloses nothing about the herbicidal activities. Further, the specification of JP-A-62-167708 discloses a 3-(substituted)phenyl-6-(substituted)alkyl-4-pyridone derivative having a carbamoyl group at the 5-position, and a herbicidal activity is also disclosed. However, it is different from the compounds of the present invention.

In recent years, a herbicide is strongly desired which has selective activities to kill only weeds without giving adverse effects to crop plants even when it is applied to the crop plants and weeds simultaneously. Further, it is desired to develop an agent whereby complete effects can be obtained at a low dose, in order to prevent the agent from remaining excessively in the environment.

To solve the above problems, the present inventors have synthesized many pyridone derivatives and conducted various studies on their usefulness. As a result, it has been found that certain pyridone derivatives have excellent herbicidal activities and selectivity to solve the above problems, and the present invention has been accomplished.

The herbicide of the present invention comprises a pyridone derivative of the formula (I-1) or (I-2) as an active ingredient. For the compound of the present invention to be used as a herbicide, the compound of the present invention may be used by itself. However, it may be used in the form of a formulation such as a dust, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate, a microgranule or a granule by blending it with a carrier which is commonly used for formulations, a surfactant, a dispersant or an adjuvant.

The carrier to be used for such formulations, may, for example, be a solid carrier such as talc, bentonite, clay, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, fine silica, vermiculite, calcium carbonate, slaked lime, silica sand, ammonium sulfate or urea, or a liquid carrier such as isopropyl alcohol, xylene, cyclohexane or methylnaphthalene.

As the surfactant and dispersant, a metal salt of alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, a metal salt of dinaphthylmethane disulfonic acid, a salt of alcohol sulfuric acid ester, an alkylaryl sulfonate, a lignin sulfonate, a polyoxyethylene glycol ether, a polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ether or a polyoxyethylene sorbitol monoalkylate may, for example, be mentioned. The adjuvant may, for example, be carboxymethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol or gum arabic. In practical use, the herbicide may be diluted to a suitable concentration before application, or may be directly applied.

The herbicide of the present invention may be used for application to foliage, soil or water surface. The blending proportion of the active ingredient is suitably selected as the case requires. However, in a case of a dust or a granule, the proportion of the active ingredient is selected suitably within a range of from 0.01 to 10% by weight, preferably from 0.05 to 5% by weight. In a case of an emulsifiable concentrate or a wettable powder, the proportion is selected suitably within a range of from 1 to 50% by weight, preferably from 5 to 30% by weight.

The dose of the herbicide of the present invention varies depending upon the type of the compound, the weeds to be controlled, the germination tendency, the environmental conditions and the type of the formulation to be used. However, in the case of a dust or a granule which is used by itself, the dose of the active ingredient is selected suitably within a range of from 0.1 g to 5 kg, preferably from 1 g to 1 kg, per 10 ares. In a case of an emulsifiable concentrate or a wettable powder which is used in a liquid state, the dose of the active ingredient is selected suitably within a range of from 1 to 50,000 ppm, preferably from 10 to 10,000 ppm. Further, the compound of the present invention may be used in combination with an insecticide, a fungicide, other herbicide, a plant growth controlling agent, a fertilizer or the like, as the case requires.

Now, the formulation method will be described with reference to typical Formulation Examples. The compounds, types of the additives and blending ratios are not limited to such specific Examples and may be changed within wide ranges. In the following description, "parts" means "parts by weight".

FORMULATION EXAMPLE 4 Emulsifiable Concentrate

To 30 parts of Compound (2-7), 60 parts of a mixture comprising equal amounts of xylene and isophorone and 10 parts of a mixture comprising a polyoxyethylene sorbitol alkylate surfactant, a polyoxyethylenealkylaryl polymer and an alkylaryl sulfonate, were added, and the mixture was thoroughly stirred to obtain an emulsifiable concentrate.

FORMULATION EXAMPLE 5 Granule

10 Parts of Compound (6-9), 80 parts of a bulking agent comprising a 1:3 mixture of talc and bentonite, 5 parts of fine silica, 5 parts of a mixture comprising a polyoxyethylene sorbitol alkylate surfactant, a polyoxyethylenealkylaryl polymer and an alkylaryl sulfonate and 10 parts of water were mixed and thoroughly kneaded to obtain a paste, which was extruded from sieve apertures with a diameter of 0.7 mm. The extruded product was dried and then cut into a length of from 0.5 to 1 mm to obtain granules.

Now, the effects of the compounds of the present invention will be described with reference to Test Examples. Further, as a comparative agent, the following compound was used. ##STR92##

TEST EXAMPLE 1 Test on Herbicidal Effects by Paddy Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 100 cm²) filled with paddy field soil, barnyardgrass (Ec), monochoria (Mo) and bulrush (Sc) were sown after puddling and leveling, and flooded to a water depth of 3 cm. Next day, a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied dropwise to the water surface. The dose was 100 g of the active ingredient per 10 ares. The plants were then cultured in a green house, and the evaluation of the herbicidal effects was conducted on the 21st day after the application in accordance with the standards as identified in Table 47. The results are shown in Tables 48-55.

TEST EXAMPLE 2 Test on Herbicidal Effects by Upland Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 120 cm²) filled with sand, barnyardgrass (Ec), Dipitaria ciliaris (Di), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and rice flatsedge (Ci) were sown and covered with soil. A wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied uniformly to the soil surface by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit./10 ares so as to apply 100 g of the active ingredient per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 3 Test on Herbicidal Effects by Upland Field Foliage Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 120 cm²) filled with sand, barnyardgrass (Ec), Dipitaria ciliaris (Di), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and rice flatsedge (Ci) were sown and covered with soil and were cultured in a green house for 2 weeks. A wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied onto the entire foliages of the plants from above by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit./10 ares so as to apply 100 g of the active ingredient per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 4 Test on Crop Plant Selectivity by Upland Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 600 cm²) filled with sand, cotton (Go), Digitaria ciliaris (Di), green foxtail (Se), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and China jute (Ab) were sown and covered with soil. Next day, a prescribed amount of the active ingredient (g^(ai) /10a) of a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied uniformly to the soil surface by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit. per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 5 Test on Crop Plant Selectivity by Upland Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 600 cm²) filled with sand, wheat (Tr), Digitaria ciliaris (Di), green foxtail (Se), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and China jute (Ab) were sown and covered with soil. Next day, a prescribed amount of the active ingredient (g^(ai) /10a) of a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied uniformly to the soil surface by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit. per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 6 Test on Crop Plant Selectivity by Upland Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 600 cm²) filled with sand, soybean (Gl), Dipitaria ciliaris (Di), green foxtail (Se), Johnsongrass (So), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and China jute (Ab) were sown and covered with soil. Next day, a prescribed amount of the active ingredient (g^(ai) /10a) of a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied uniformly to the soil surface by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit. per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 7 Test on Crop Plant Selectivity by Upland Field Soil Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 600 cm²) filled with sand, corn (Ze), green foxtail (Se), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and China jute (Ab) were sown and covered with soil. Next day, a prescribed amount of the active ingredient (g^(ai) /10a) of a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied uniformly to the soil surface by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit. per 10 ares.

TEST EXAMPLE 10 Test on Crop Plant Selectivity by Upland Field Foliage Treatment

In a plastic pot (surface area: 600 cm²) filled with sand, soybean (Gl), pale smartweed (Po), slender amaranth (Am), common lambsquarters (Ch) and China jute (Ab) were sown and cultured in a green house for 2 weeks. Then, a prescribed amount of the active ingredient (g^(ai) /10a) of a wettable powder prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water and applied onto the entire foliages of the plants from above by a small-sized sprayer in an amount of 100 lit. per 10 ares.
